Chapter 825: Painted Skin
"Just...yesterday." Lu Zhiang replied.
Xie Nancheng thought about it carefully. Yesterday, Tu Ran had dealt with his grandmother's affairs. Could it be... that there really was a connection?
"I'm not wronging your sister, she is indeed a bit weird."
"But I asked someone to keep an eye on her for a long time, but there was no evidence and no flaws." Xie Nancheng scratched his head anxiously.
"I'm aware of this matter. I'll keep an eye on it."
"If it really is Xuan'er..."
"I will give you an explanation." Lu Zhiang promised word by word.
At this time, Xie Nancheng didn't want to deliberately sow discord between the Lu family brothers and sisters.
The main thing is that Lu Xuaner did get into trouble and is still in the hospital?
This is weird.
So are all the previous speculations still valid?
If this is true, Lu Xuan'er is so powerful that she can resurrect the dead and burn herself?
Isn’t this a contradiction?
If not true.
Then why, after Lu Xuan'er talked about that dream, she really dreamed it.
And Tu Ran's words were also directed at Lu Xuan'er?
At once, too many things didn't make sense.
Xie Nancheng just felt a terrible headache.
He didn't delve into the issue, but patted Lu Zhiang on the shoulder.
Sometimes, men don’t need to say anything, they understand each other.
Lu Zhiang then went to the hospital.
Old Man Lu is in poor health and can't keep going on.
Only Mrs. Lu and the nurse were in the hospital.
When Lu Zhiang came, Mrs. Lu felt like she saw a savior.
She grabbed her son's arm and cried for a while.
"Son, come and see your sister."
"Your father and I really don't know what to do."
"When you're not at home, I lose my backbone."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm back." Lu Zhiang comforted softly.
"How is things in southern Sichuan? How is Wanjun?" Mrs. Lu also became concerned.
"Everything is available." Lu Zhiang only reported good news and not bad news.
"Is your father-in-law's family unhappy?" The Lu family felt bad about the delay of the engagement party, but there was really nothing they could do, and it was the decision of their son and future daughter-in-law.
"No, I'll make it up later."
"When I'm done with this, I'll take you to southern Sichuan."
"Okay, I'm glad you're okay."
"The doctor said your sister's burns are very serious, and her current condition isn't very good. You should go in and see her."
"good."
After Lu Zhiang comforted his mother, he went into the intensive care unit.
Lu Xuaner is on a ventilator.
His face was wrapped in gauze, and he looked very scary and serious.
She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.
She was also awake when Lu Zhiang came in.
The moment the brother and sister looked at each other, the air seemed to freeze.
After all, she is my biological sister, and I still can’t bear it.
"Brother, you're back."
Lu Xuan'er's voice was a little hoarse.
"Yeah." Lu Zhiang nodded and slowly walked to the bedside.
"What happened?" Lu Zhiang frowned.
"I was careless, doing some handicrafts myself, and I almost set the house on fire..."
Lu Zhiang knew that his sister liked to do handicrafts, and her room was filled with all kinds of dolls.
Many of them were not bought, but made by her herself.
Although those dolls look a bit weird.
"Brother, fortunately, we found it in time."
"I didn't cause any trouble to my parents."
"I was the only one injured."
"If my parents were burned too, I would feel so guilty that I would die."
Lu Zhiang remained silent.
"Brother, when I get better, you can send me to a mental hospital."
"I'm still very dangerous when I have an attack."
"Just because I'm usually well-behaved, you can't ignore me when I'm in danger."
"The dangerous me is also me."
"I asked for my own death, it's nothing."
"My parents are old, they shouldn't be frightened by me."
Lu Xuan'er spoke with tears in her eyes.
Lu Zhiang's emotions were very complicated.
He actually also wanted to send Lu Xuan'er to a mental hospital or even leave Xiangcheng.
Send to Beijing or abroad.
Just walk away.
Now that the only abnormal thing in the family has been sent away, everything will be normal again.
But, after all, the person in front of me is my sister who grew up with me.
Lu Xuan'er keeps calling him brother, so it is impossible for Lu Zhiang to say that he is not soft-hearted.
"Let's talk about it when you're better."
"Brother, I heard from the doctor that my burns are very serious this time."
"I need a skin graft."
"I don't want to do it."
"Why?" Lu Zhiang looked at her quietly.
"I'm afraid of pain."
"I'll talk to the doctor later." Lu Zhiang didn't give an answer, but just comforted her.
"Brother, I don't want to have surgery."
"That's all I want. I'll just die."
"You finally have your own life now."
"Mom and Dad should live a good life with you."
"If I don't have the surgery this time, I'll die. That's the best outcome."
"Everyone is at peace, and I am also... liberated."
Lu Xuan'er's separation made Lu Zhiang very conflicted.
Sometimes, she is extremely vicious and selfish. It is impossible for her to die. She will not die no matter who dies.
Last time she had a seizure on the plane coming back and almost killed her father.
But when she is sober, when she is the real Lu Xuaner, she is so well-behaved that she is willing to risk her life for it.
Seeing Lu Zhiang didn't say anything.
Lu Xuan'er started to act coquettishly, "Brother, I'm really not afraid of death. I'm fine."
"It's better to die and put an end to it all than to live in such pain."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"I'm going to talk to the doctor." Lu Zhiang turned and was about to leave.
"elder brother."
Lu Zhiang stopped.
"Brother, this is for you." Lu Xuan'er spread out her palm.
Inside is a glass ball the size of a one-yuan coin.
This completely broke Lu Zhiang's psychological defenses.
This was when they were very young.
The glass bead game we played together.
Lu Zhiang saw that his sister also liked it and couldn't let it go.
As a birthday gift for her.
So many years have passed.
They are no longer children playing with glass beads.
But the things are still there, and you can see the traces of the glass beads being rubbed by time.
It was a deep blue glass ball, the same color as sea water.
He considers himself a broad-minded person.
But why can't he tolerate his younger sister?
My sister is just sick, she probably doesn’t want this to happen, right?
Thinking of the short happy time in his childhood and the warm scenes with his brothers and sisters, Lu Zhiang felt very uncomfortable.
"This is a gift for you, so of course you should keep it."
"Take good care of yourself and don't let your mind wander."
After saying that, Lu Zhiang turned and left the ward.
The moment Lu Zhiang walked out the door.
A barely perceptible hint of pride flashed across Lu Xuan'er's eyes.
Manipulate people's hearts?
She's the best at it, isn't she?
She knew that her elder brother had long since stopped wanting to keep her and had even considered killing her.
But you see, just cry and act it out.
He will still be soft-hearted...
She gently pulled off the white gauze.
The burned areas on his face were already as smooth as new.
Painted Skin is just like this, right?
But how could these foolish mortals understand the mysteries of heaven and earth?
